“I was actually on fairly good terms with him, until that sub-par review I gave him in Variety. Talk about snippy.”

~ H. P. Lovecraft on Cthulhu


Problems? Just Ask Cthulhu!

Quoting the Dread Cthulhu is a game invented by the Mad Arab Paula Abdul Alhazred in the year 730 CE while writing his magnum opus, al Azif, later retitled the Necronomicon — and soon to be made available for the first time in paperback, with a foreword by Al Roker and a special Esperanto translation by Ayn Rand look-alike Leonard Peikoff.

In effect, the light-hearted, often silly game provided him and his family with some much-needed wholesome fun and tension relief during the long hours of recording the abhorrent mystical incantations used to summon a wide variety of ancient otherworldly demons such as Shrub Niggurath; the batlike Nyarlathotep, avatar of the blind idiot-god Azathoth; the infinite Yog-Sothoth; the fun-loving Mazelthoth; and the just-plain-old-boring Thoth. Not to mention the hideous Shoggoths, Visigoths, Nihilist Poseur Goths, Teenage Mutant Ninja Goths, Sylvia Tóths, frog-mutants, hamsters, cute puppies, and men in bunny suits mentioned in the terrifying Pnakotic Manuscripts and the Book of Eibon.

This is not to say that the game is without its challenges. Cthulhu's hideously obscene-sounding guttural dialect is nearly unpronounceable by human tongues, so misspellings often occur. Even the most famous saying about Cthulhu, "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" ("In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming"), is often embarrassingly misspelled in such a way as to be translatable as "In a sushi restaurant in Ryloth topless Cthulhu waits tables."[1]

Made-up Quotes About Cthulhu by Non-Famous People

  • "He helped me get a good deal on supplemental prescription drug insurance, even though I wasn't in the best of health.

But I was still able to save on my prescriptions at the local pharmacy!"
    Mildred Kenton, Buffalo, New York

Cthulhu, Self-Help Author

In addition, Cthulhu is the author of several published works, most of which are self-help books for upper-level business executives, wealthy investors, and religious leaders. Titles include:

  • Cthulhu's Formula for Success: Destroying the Souls of All Who Deny You
  • Seven Easy Steps To a Better Eternity of Inconceivable Pain and Torment
  • Predicting Global Marketing Trends Through Universal Mind Control
  • Waiting For Eons of Eternal Death: The Cthulhu Cure For Sleep Deprivation
  • President George W. Bush: An Endless Dream of Torment For the Future
  • Who Moved My Slime-Trail of Ectoplasm?
  • The Slime-Trail of Ectoplasm Less Travelled
  • Understanding the Consumed: The Psychology of Soul Devouring

Several of these books contain valuable pearls of wisdom that only Cthulhu could have produced, but since not one person has ever read a single page of any of these books and lived, our only alternative is to make up quotes from them, too.

Cthulhu on Professional Success

  • "My way is simple: Ritualistic worship, psionic enslavement, blood sacrifice, and treating all who oppose you with brutal savagery. Simplicity - that's the key to success!"
  • "When negotiating with a business rival, always ask yourself three things: First, how powerful is his mind? Second, how powerful is your mind? And third, do either the two minds produce enough psionic theta-waves to satisfy my unquenchable thirst for mind-energy?"
  • "Many a fool has sought to oppose my diabolical will, only to find out later that they probably shouldn't have tried to do that."
  • "Achieving success is far easier than most humans believe. For example, why did we, the priests of the Elder Gods of this galaxy, succeed where the avatars of the Ancient Old Ones from beyond the stars failed? The answer is absurdly simple: Vast armies of horrifying monsters."
  • "Idle hands are Satan's playground, but I prefer to chew them slowly, suck out the good parts, and then just spit out the bones and fingernails."
  • "For years, I had terribly low self-esteem, because I couldn't go anywhere without leaving a trail of slime, poisonous fumes, and hideous dead things in my wake. But through the power of positive thinking, I learned that to love yourself you must first know yourself, and understand yourself, and let your hideously mutated frog-like minions clean up all that yucky mess."
  • "The early bird may get the worm, but it's the second brain-eating fungus from beyond the colours of time that gets the Fn'angle !"

Cthulhu on Your Health

  • "To obtain a deep, restful, and fulfilling sleep, you must first submerge yourself in your cyclopean city of hideous non-Euclidean geometries beneath the sea, and then let your body die. But don't worry! As long as you continue to emanate enough evil thought-energy to influence and control your many worshippers throughout the untold eons, they will resurrect you when the time comes. I guarantee it!"
  • "Sure, I've conducted a centuries-long breeding experiment with controlled gene mutations to transform human populations into slavering amphibious frog-creatures. Who hasn't? Still, it bothers me when people keep referring to them as 'slavering.' I mean, have a little common courtesy, people. They have feelings too."

Cthulhu on Politics

  • "I was Bush's biggest supporter, until I realized he was just using me to boost his approval ratings among traditionally Democratic mutant-amphibian voters."
  • "I wish I had just one erg of alpha-band energy for every time someone told me they were convinced Dick Cheney and I were the same person. I mean, sure, there's the pure evil thing and all, but I'm so much better-looking."

Cthulhu on... Whatever

  • "As I was telling Mrs. Cthulhu the other day, the problem with traveling between stars and planets on the astral-ethereal plane is that you don't get to carry any luggage. That also means no laptop, no DVD's, no USB memory stick, no nothing. So, if you're looking to bang out a quick Excel spreadsheet showing the latest changes in your human-sacrifice per minion rate, in between relaxing ecto-baths with hot Yrgas'fnakh babes on dark Yil-Agaroth, forget about it."
  • "I've been told that I am yesterday, today, and tomorrow. But not the day after; apparently that's just Yog-Sothoth showing off."
  • "In Soviet Russia, horrid green soapstone idol consumes still-beating heart of naked virgin before YOU!!"
  • "You think you've been violated by an ordinary tentacle monster? Well, to quote BTO, 'you ain't seen nothin' yet"

-to a screaming Japanese Schoolgirl
